Wooden 4-layer animal puzzle

The way the animals are hidden under each layer is such a clever design, my toddler squealed with delight when she found the pig under the elephant. It’s sturdy enough to survive being dropped a few times.

The layers fit together surprisingly smoothly for a wooden puzzle, and my son's little fingers have no trouble stacking them. It's been keeping him quietly focused at the kitchen table for longer than I expected.

My toddler loves guessing which animal comes next, and the hidden layers behind Mrs. Elephant keep her engaged for a solid ten minutes. The pieces fit snugly but not too tight, so she can stack them herself without frustration.
